Private-equity giant CVC Capital is close to securing a stake in rugby’s Six Nations, according to the Evening Standard.

The paper said CVC is close to a £300m deal with Six Nations Rugby Limited for a 14% stake in the tournament.

The deal would be CVC’s second major investment in rugby. Two years ago it bought a 27% holding in Premiership Rugby, which runs England’s top league.
